Viscerosomatic Pre- and Post- Ganglionic Technique

Heese NAm ChiroMar 1988; 10:16-22

This paper will approach the physiology and methodology of the viscerosomatic pre- and post- ganglionic technique used with occipital fiber analysis as demonstrated in sacro occipital technique (SOT). Dr. DeJarnette’s research with SOT produced evidence that a true subluxation of a thoracic or lumbar vertebra will produce a ganglion complex involving the viscus associated with the primary vertebral subluxation as determined by occipital fiber palpation. Chiropractors must recognize the limitation of the vertebral adjustment and administer whatever reflex manipulation is needed to restore the arc reflex to and from the involved vertebra and viscus.
